^^^^ Congratulations.
I think that is my favourite Seamaster, other than some of the old vintage Seamaster 300s.

Mmmmm Neil,
Now that one doesn't read 10.11.....
It's a "real one".......Ooooo, home in the box ? Or testing for the "Bloo".......??
OR IS IT THE "BLOO".......??? Can't quite see it clearly enough

I'd have the blue all day long - and twice on Sundays.

^^^^^ Both the pics I posted were of the grey dial - distinctly different from a black dial bathyscaphe. I liked the blue dial on the blue one, but wasn't convinced by the blue of the bezel.
The blue on the 38mm is different to the blue on some of the 43mm versions it seems.

^^^^^ Maybe I just prefer the one with the Pepsi bezel on a bespoke Jean Rousseau rubber strap.

Ah yes. From that picture, the Rolex has the best proportions (bezel width to crystal diameter) and the best blue is on the 43mm Blancpain...
